First Day on The Road 15/8/2013



Talk about a small world – on our way back to Cairns early in the morning we decided to stop off at Port Douglas for a coffee. We were just about to walk out when in walks Ben – Iain’s friend from Canberra that is also into Unimogs. We knew they were there and had hoped to catch up but our plans hadn’t quite worked out. He was out for a morning walk with his young son when he saw the car and decided to find us.
We arrived at the mechanic at around 9 and guilted him into fixing it immediately. It only took around half an hour, we decided to hang around Cairns for an hour or so just to make sure it didn’t leak. After a very welcome cup of tea and a chat with the friendly café owner we headed out on our adventures.

We drove for a few hours and set up camp at the Walsh River bush camp. It was a truly magnificent night, we were the only ones there and with the moon bright and the sky clear we didn’t even need to use camp lights.
